Join leading hip-hop activists, scholars, and artists for a town hall style discussion.

Speakers include:
MC Serch, host of the VH-1 reality series The White Rapper Show and Miss Rap Supreme;
Joan Morgan, author of When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost: My Life as a Hip-Hop Feminist;
Martha Diaz, community organizer, media producer, researcher, archivist, and a social entrepreneur;
Rev. Conrad Tillard, Sr. Pastor of Nazarene Congregational Church; and Bakari Kitwana, journalist, activist and political analyst.

Free, reservations required. For reservations and information please call 917.492.3395.

The Museum of the City of New York is at 1220 Fifth Avenue, between 103rd and 104th Street.
